From the upcoming release, Stepping Stones for Tuba, Vol. 1

Concertpiece No. 2 for Tuba and Piano by Rodger Vaughan
Composed in 1982, this driving work is a successful companion piece to Mr. Vaughan’s ever-popular Concertpiece No. 1. Like the previous work it also has three main sections Fast-Slow-Fast (Sonata Form) with a lovely andante cantabile serving as the lyrical contrasting middle section.

Rodger Vaughan is a native Kansan who was on the faculty at California State University-Fullerton for most of his career. He now resides in Palmer Lake, Colorado.

I did Three Songs for my final master's recital. The poems were written by John Updike. It was written with Roger Bobo in mind. It was a crowd pleaser.
